Hey guys, I'm looking for some guidance as to what I should do for my car.
I've got a Mark4 Jetta. Basically a sedan type car, with fold down seats.
120AMP alternator...
My first system was an AQ 1200 amp, with 2 10" 450RMS Soundstream Rubicons...
I was pretty disappointed with this setup. Ported box as well. It wasn't nearly as loud as I wanted, and ended up blowing one of the subs. Dead.. No DMM reading on either voice coil.
I have an optima redtop up from, and a big three upgrade installed as well. It seemed to solve my dimming issues, but the amp would still clip fairly easily. Eventually, once that other sub went, the subs sounded ******, so I opened them up to solder the speaker wire to the box outlet (inside). Noticed that one was blown, so setup just one sub.
Anyways, I'm wondering what subs I should go with? I would like some deeper bass, and stronger waves. I want the bass to make the back of my throat vibrate--which those 10s didn't even do.
Questions:
Will I get this with 12s? 15s? should I go for 1 18?
Do I need to upgrade my alternator for some 15s? Or will getting another battery for the back solve the issue?
